BLACKBURN HAD THE FLOOR.
How the Kentucky Senator Put an End to
a Schoolboy Duel.


WASHINGTON, Feb. l. The Critic:
speaking of the colloquial powers of
Senator Joe Black urn of Kentucky"
says First Assistant Postmaster General
Stevenson, 81 am reminded of story.
When Joe and were young fellows we
were in school together, and it
happened that two of our friends
had falling out and concluded to set
tie it according to the code, with Joe
and myself as seconds. Somehow, Joe
had the reputation of being posted on
such affairs, and when all arrangements
had been completed, and we were on the
ground, we gave him full power of
direction. We tossed for choice OF posi-
ton, and my side won. The sun was just
rising, and placed my man with his back
to it. Joe saw the disadvantage of his
principal, and began to do little talking
for some other arrangement. He went
into the history of dueling, citing cases
and giving statistics; he explained the
courtesy of the code; he argued every
point of honor, and so on, with such
force and continuance, that when we
finally got ready to resume warlike opera
lions the sun had gone down, and it was
so dark that our men couldn't see each
other at ten PAGES OF course Joe was as
much surprised as any of us, but it put
an end to the duel, and our principals
never renewed it."

efforts to draw out their funds, now

per capita among their people,
instead OF reserving the interest on this
amount semi-annually, as they are LOW
doing They contend that they are not
being benefited by receiving the interest
per capita semi-annually, but that if they
could draw out the whole amount and
divide it they would be greatly and per
maneutly benefited. There are only
about coo or 700 Uf tnem now.
They, too, like the Shawnees, were once
q powerful and numerous people and

they gradually ceded it all away. Their

Several letters written by the plaintiff

black guardism. Several letters were intro
duced showing that Scott bad requested
his wife to take her two grown daughter s

special to the Gazette
MARSHALL, TEX, Feb. About l
O'Clock this morning burglars made a
rapid raid on more than dozen resi-
dences. One attempted to enter Sheriff
Perry's residence and was frightened
away, Mr.. Perry being awake. He broke
into the stable, but before be could get a
horse ne was compelled to leave. From
there he went to several houses in sue
cession, but failed to get anything until
he entered Mr.. Brisker's and stole a
suit of clothes. He then made
his way to the depot and
boarded the night train to Shreveport,
where he attempted to pawn a coat to Mr..
c. Bergman, who discovered letter sd
dressed to Mr.. l. n. Brisker. Mr.. Berg
man had him arrested and telephoned to
Mr. Brisker, who responded to hold the
thief. He was probably member of the
same gang who attempted to enter Mrs.
DR.. Lewis twice and was frightened OF
both times, and also failed at four otheI
residences. He succeeded in getting
into Dr. B, F. Eads' residence and even
into the room in which the Doctor was
sleeping. The Doctor was awakened by
q noise, and supposiDg it was mis- daughter
passing through the room he called twice,
and getting no answer he raised up in
bed, and seeing some one pass across the
room he jumped up, struck match and
passed towards the door. He saw man
crOuChing in the corner. He
dropped his match, grabbed the
man by the coat collar and
whirled him headlong down the stairs,
breaking out several rounds of the banis
tiers in his decent. The burglar was evil
IDENTITY much bruised in the fall, but left
hurriedly. The Doctor had no weapon
and did not pursue. Mr.. George Munden
with his dogs followed the track some
distance, but finally lost it and gave up
the pursuit. This burglar has not yet
been caught.
Yesterday q young man came to
Marshall and offered horse for
sale at very low price. Although there
was some suspicious that all was not
right he gave such plain and apparently
truthful account of himself and reasons
for selling the horse so low that Mr..
Jackson gave him $40 for the horse, and
to-day Mr.. Cobb came down from near
Longview and proved his "nership to
the horse and took him home, whereby
Mr.. Jackson saw his $40 vanish. The
sheriff and deputy. went in hot pursuit
of the thief. 1t has been learned that the
young man has two aliases, neither of
which is his right name.

BALLINGER, TEX, Feb. 3.-We have
every indication of good rain, which Is
needed badly in our section of country
now, as there has been q very large acre
age of wheat planted in West Texas this
year.
Our people are anxiously waiting the
action of the Legislature to see if the
watered school land Will be placed on the
market for sale to actual settlers. This
has prevented the settlement of large
portion of Texas, for unless the watered
land can be bought the dry land adjoining
will not sell.
The coal mine seventeen miles SOUTH
